Scope & content

The Ezekiel Gilman Robinson papers primarily contain the business correspondence of Robinson during his presidency at Brown University between 1872 and 1889. Series 3 contains a translation of "Micah" from Hebrew to English by Ezekiel Gilman Robinson, as well as some business receipts and notes related to Brown Corporation meetings. Also included in this series is a brief biography and notes on a resolution written by the Brown Corporation upon Robinson's death in 1894. Series 4 contains three typewritten drafts of an article entitled, "The Professor of Philosophy," by Alfred Gideon Langley about Robinson. This article was meant to be a supplement to Robinson’s autobiography but it was never published.
